For all practical purposes, it's a tie. It's all up to the super delegates now. We won't know who they pick until July 25-28 when the Democratic convention is held and the super delegates finally vote.

From this point on, both candidates will have to make their case to the party leaders Given that Hillary could not defeat Bernie in the primaries despite the massive amounts of money, political connections, and universal backing of all major media outlets, what makes anyone confident that she can defeat Trump, who won his primaries in a landslide despite having gone against a dozen candidates to Hillary's two competitors?

Bernie Sanders still slaughters Trump in the general election according to every poll. Hillary Clinton does not. In fact, in some papers including the liberal Miami Herald state that Trump will unequivocally win the general election against Hillary. And when a liberal rag says this, you should take it seriously.

Donald Trump will win the 2016 presidential election.

Not "might” win. Not "could win under the following circumstances.” He's going to win as surely as the sun rises in the east, as certainly as high tide follows low, and as definitively as Steph Curry laid waste to the Oklahoma City Thunder's defense.

Here are five reasons why:

His rhetoric resonates. (Even as it appalls.)
Most Republicans are falling in line.
Gotcha journalism doesn't faze Trump.
Hillary follows his lead – badly.
Trump will crush Clinton in the debates.

A few months ago, Trump started referring to Clinton as "Crooked Hillary.” He's preparing the rhetorical battle space.

Also, Clinton is not a very good debater. People forget the way Barack Obama eviscerated her during the 2008 Democratic primaries. She does not do well in situations where she doesn't have complete control. It's why she prefers interviews to news conferences. Interviews are more predictable. Press conferences are free-for-alls.

We're a long way from the Lincoln-Douglas era, when people would sit and listen for hours to closely argued speeches. Trump is a master of the emotional appeal. He's shown he has no compunction about attacking Clinton and her husband on their moral and ethical lapses, even as he's fighting lawsuits accusing him of fraud and dodging questions about his past infidelities and current net worth.

In a contest between two shameless politicians, the one with the least shame wins. Get ready for President Trump.

A Trump-Sanders debate would go vastly different. Sanders appeals to independent and swing voters, people who want an intelligent president. Trump's tactics would backfire if he had to debate Sanders only increasing popular support for Bernie. Clinton's campaign so far has heavily played into Trump's tiny, tiny hands.

If Hillary crossed the pledged delegates, Bernie will not be taking it to Philly. Trump won the pledged delegates. If Hillary's superdelegates switch to bernie-he is the nominee.

If frogs had wings, they could just fly gently down after every jump, instead of bumping their asses so much...

1. You can't just put "-splaining" after a noun to make an intelligent argument. You sound like a SJW.
2. If you were to call anything here "-splaining" it should be "cornellWestsplaining" as demonstrated in this video.
3. Falsely accusing someone of belittling black people is a form of racism called race-baiting. That is exactly what you are engaging in right now.
4. As Cornell West eloquently explained, African Americans overwhelmingly support Bernie Sanders after and only after they get the correct information about his long history fighting for civil rights. This is also exactly why Cornell West so enthusiastically supports Bernie Sanders.
5. It is unethical of you to use African Americans as pawns in your deception to attack Bernie Sanders via his supporters. That is just a morally bankrupt tactic.

Trump won the pledged delegates.

This is a true statement, which is why the GOP will have be a contested convention. This is also surprising because a few months ago, most people thought the GOP convention would be contested and the Democratic one would not. This has been an election season full of surprises, so I wouldn't be surprise if future historians look back on this as one of the pivotal elections in American history. I think this election marks the beginning of a transition to a seventh party system in which Nixon's South Strategy is no longer viable and the unholy union between religious nuts and the owner class has been broken at the same time the Democratic Party can no longer be a party for the upper-middle class white demographic alone.

Interesting, Trump not only won the primary, it was a landslide even for a two-candidate race, and he was in a 17-way race. That makes the landslide even more incredible. So when I say that Trump has a very good chance of defeating Hillary, there is plenty of basis for that belief. Now that Trump has eliminated all competition on the GOP side, he is focusing his full attention on Hillary and he's being just as effective at tearing her apart as he has been with every GOP candidate.

The previously unthinkable Trump administration is right now quite plausible.

The flaw in this idiot's, for lack of a better word, thinking is that frogs cannot grow wings but the superdelegates most certain can, and have considerable incentive to, switch their votes and doing so would be fulfilling the very purpose of their existence.

So dumbass should really have said, if money could buy things, then having lots of it would make you rich.

Take it up with blow and the nytDan8267 says

3. Falsely accusing someone of belittling black

In your head, stating that blacks got their votes wrong, because they were ignorant is not belittling? Dan8267 says

Look in the mirror. I don't have to use anyone as a pawn or come up with convoluted arguments, because HC beat Bernie fair and square. Anyway, I voted for Bernie. But it's time for him to move on.

Take it up with blow and the ny

The opinion of one New York Times editor does not reflect the opinions of all NYT editors, and even if it did, one can disagree with opinions, but not facts. People are attacking my factual claims, not my opinions, and that makes them wrong. The fact remains that Bernie Sanders has a long history of supporting civil rights particularly for African Americans whereas Hillary Clinton supported the polices that led to the routine murder of unarmed black people, including a sleeping 9-year-old girl, that is exactly what the #blacklivesmatter movement is trying to fight. This is not opinion. It's fact.

In your head,

It is a fact that you have no idea what is going on in my head. Don't pretend to have access to my thoughts. That is the epitome of a straw man argument.

She supported the Bankruptcy Reform Act, also.

If ever there was an act named in double speak.
